Today (20 Sept) we will have a great talk with Dr Peggy Mohan on history of languages.
There will be many interesting topics including the reconstruction of the Harappan language, story of Indo Aryan and Dravidian languages, what are Prakrits/Pali, how did the modern vernaculars emerge and how are they shaping us today...
He books are extremely captivating to read and discussion with her will be full of new views.
It overlaps with syllabus, it helps us to broaden our perspective for the exam as well as the interview (issues like language based identity clashes today) and more than that, such interactions give us unique insights aboit the society around us.
She is a great scholar. Her books have radically changed my perspectives regarding Indian languages, history of languages and politics of languages.
Do attend. Don't miss it.
5 PM, LevelUp IAS
Both Karan sir and I will engage with her in QnA and then the floor will be open to all of you.
